You'll be happy, to see thousand of thing on the mountain arround and on going back, thousand of waiting people on the car garage, cash and also on each step with the cable car to the top. But a beautifull view also if the weather is not so good, because the sun is shining on lake garda the most of the time. we have had feeled 40 degree on ground and on the top ist was refreshing You can walk around on small and long disctances, with kids you'll like the small disctances. There is also a way up /down by foot.

It was a nice day and the visibility was great! Was able to see mountain peaks in different countries. "Stunning views, well-maintained facilities, and friendly staff. the experience is worth every penny, especially on a clear day when the breathtaking vistas are at their best. The panoramic views of Eisbee Lake and the surrounding landscape are truly awe-inspiring, making the journey to the top a memorable one." Easily one of the best experiences I've had in other countries. I recommend visiting if you're within 2 hours drive. Definitely worth it!

There are some German words that are more fun to yell than others, and ZUGSPITZE is the perfect…read moreword to yell when you're talking about the tallest mountain in Germany/Austria. Appropriate responses to completing the 15-minute cable car ride to the top of this mountain with a group of 20 other people include: exclaiming, "Zugspitze," taking a deep breath of fresh air, shielding yourself from the 5G towers, vomiting, and/or drinking a beer. Luckily, they offer beer at the top! Why? Because of course they do! They also offer food in a few different settings (Austrian side vs German side, you'll see). If you're feeling super fit and looking for a challenge, you can climb to the top or to the bottom of the mountain using hiking gear. There's a way for visitors who took the easy way up to climb the last bit of the mountain to the apex for a sweet photo op, or you could, like, actually do all the work and grab a beer before you take a relaxing ride back down. During winter months this is obviously a hotspot (or cold spot) for skiing and winter sports. It is still very beautiful and awe-inducing to see this over the summer/fall, and still very cold. If you buy the all-inclusive pass from the ticket booth like my aunt and uncle did, you are given one round-trip ticket to the top of Zugspitze and back, then freedom to ride all of the other cable cars in the area and participate in some of the offered activities (like tobogganing). This is one of those things you have to see at least once. genießen!

I highly recommend this Hütte, nestled about 1300m up into Austrian Heaven…read more It gets its name from the Alpenverein that founded and used to operate it (and perhaps still is involved somehow?). That chapter was, as you probably have guessed, based in Lindau. The feeling during my three day stay here was more like at an exclusive though rustic resort than at a Hütte. The whole experience was so clean, so professionally operated, and so friendly. There is a "no shoes" rule, meaning you have to rinse your boots off outside, store them away in the cloakroom, and wear slippers/indoor shoes throughout the rest of the building. I wish I'd known that in advance. I had many dirty, wet socks as a result. But hey, the restaurant was always warm, so it wasn't too bad. The food prices are comparable to "Munich prices", meaning expensive if you're used to small town prices, but quite reasonable if you come from a decent-sized city. There is always a great deal for lunch, and I recommend taking advantage of it if whatever they have on offer appeals to you. You won't be disappointed! I even went with a salad one time and was very pleasantly surprised by how large and filling it was. The kitchen stays open only to about 22:00, but if you intend to get up early the next morning for some hiking, you already know that is late enough. Breakfast starts, if I recall correctly, and about 06:00. There are three options: small, medium, and large! I'm a fat-ass, so I always went with large: meat, cheese, bread, jam, butter, and tea (or coffee, if you prefer). A shower token costs €2, and gets you 5 minutes of hot water. I tested my manliness by taking a full shower with only cold water. That was fine in the middle of summer, but for the colder months, I wouldn't wish that experience on a hardened inmate. Short story: get the token if it's not sunny and 30C outside. Each floor has a men's toilet and a women's toilet, as well as a men's washroom and a women's washroom. Hot water is obviously free there, so if you don't feel you need a shower, you can get a lot done there. Or if 5 minutes is too little for you, bird shower upstairs and then shower shower downstairs in the shower room. If you're an overnight guest (not just passing through for lunch), you get a pamphlet with all the options of what you can purchase during your stay, from shower tokens to wine to lunch plates. DON'T LOSE THAT! You need that when you order so the waitress can mark it all down. And don't forget that for breakfast. And on your last morning, just pay right then and there. They do take cards, but the machine only works in one corner of the building, so be prepared to wait a few minutes while it tries to connect. Enjoy your stay!
